Today we’re talking about regional vocabularies, whether bluebonnets are actually purple, and our favorite stops from our two months of traveling around Texas.

Here’s what we covered:

• The assorted day trips we took from our “homebase” in Austin including Waco, San Antonio, Marfa and more.


• The extra-Texas seasonal traditions we participated in


• Proof you should always be checking in with your spouse (and not assume you know them)


• Is there a place in Texas that would tempt us away from Denver?


• Have questions for us that you’d like to hear us answer on an upcoming episode? Leave a comment below!
